"No, let's go and see!" Xiao Shilian said in a deep voice, interrupting the old soldiers' request.

"This ······" As Li Xinchen speculated, the veterans who were ordered to protect Xiao Shilian all showed hesitant looks on their faces. After all, their main or only task was to protect Xiao Shilian's safety, not to compete with the Northern Zhou barbarians.

As the personal guards and generals of General Wu Yi Xiao Maha, they knew that the general would never care that they accompanied Xiao Shilian on such an adventure, and even encouraged such a tempering, but when this battle was over, they would have no way to explain to the wife of the family, and everyone would have to be scolded at that time.

Xiao Shilian shook off his steps and walked forward, and said: "I have already sent two groups of people back to report to my father, and my father will not ignore it, the most important thing for us now is to find out where these Northern Zhou barbarians are going, and how many of them there are!" ”

After a pause, Xiao Shilian pointed to the front and said: "I have to say that the place they chose here is really good, condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack, we can just take this opportunity to see what this team of Northern Zhou barbarians is coming from." ”

The old pawns who followed behind glanced at each other and could only nod.

——————————-

"Brother Chen!" Before Li Xinchen rushed to the hillside, a young man from the village rushed out diagonally, if it wasn't for Li Xinchen's quick eyes and quick dodge, I'm afraid the two of them would have collided together, "Brother Chen, I finally found you!" ”

Looking at the tattered and embarrassed young man in front of him, Li Xinchen remembered that he was a kid from the Zheng family in the village, named Zheng Ping, and raised his eyebrows at the moment: "Zheng Ping, why are you here?" ”

And Li Qiu was obviously taken aback, and looked at Zheng Ping with Li Xinchen.

"Brother Chen, Uncle Li told you to hurry up, the farther away from the village, the better!" Zheng Ping gestured incoherently, "Let's go!" ”

"What are you talking about?" Li Xinchen said coldly, with anger in his words.

Facing the question of the eldest brother, who has the highest prestige among the young people, the young Zheng Ping already had a cry in his voice: "Brother Chen, I ······ I don't know! At that time, Uncle Li gave Brother A Qing an order, and Brother A Qing asked me to inform you! I've finally found you······ And then ······ And then what to do, I don't know! ”

Li Qiu tugged at Li Xinchen's sleeve: "Brother Chen! ”

Li Xinchen took a deep breath, Zheng Ping was the youngest person in the Zheng family, and it was easy for him to figure out two of the reasons when he came to report the news. The first reason is that this is obviously the last person Zheng Qing can send, so he is also the youngest and weakest person; As for the second reason, nine times out of ten, Zheng Qing wants to take this opportunity to send Zheng Ping out of danger, so as to leave a spark for the Zheng family.

So what's going on on the back hill not far away?

"Brother Chen, Ah Ping should have come to us directly, so if you ask him, he shouldn't know what happened." Li Qiu looked at Zheng Ping and said in a low voice.

Looking at Zheng Ping, who was trembling all over, Li Xinchen gritted his teeth: "Brother Qiu, do you dare to accompany someone on a trip?" ”

Li Qiu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Chen's words are right, I don't dare to go home, then what kind of person am I, Li Qiucheng!" ”

"Okay, then let's go up the back mountain and have a look." Li Xinchen made up his mind and immediately walked forward.

And Zheng Ping looked at the backs of Li Xinchen and Li Qiu leaving, and hurriedly followed. Instead of struggling in the barren mountains and mountains by yourself, it is better to be with Brother Chen. Li Xinchen had already brought a miracle last night, maybe this time it could bring a miracle.

In this regard, as a witness and participant in the battle of wits and courage with the bandits last night, Zheng Ping is convinced of this.

On the other side of the hillside, billowing black smoke rose into the sky, and fires appeared and disappeared in the black smoke, engulfing the mountains and forests.

And Li Xinchen and Li Qiu desperately jumped on the rock, they have only been to the mountain once, the road is not very familiar, and the pace is very fast, so it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "even rolling and climbing". By the time the two of them rushed to the side of the rooms, they were covered in mud.

For Li Xinchen and Li Qiu, who have been running in the mountains for a long time, it is really the first time in many years that they are so embarrassed.

And seeing the two of them suddenly appear, Seinfeld, who was on guard outside, hurriedly greeted him with a few people: "Brother Chen, where did you come from?!" ”

Ignoring the greetings, Li Xinchen held on to the wall and gasped for breath, "What happened?" Where did Zheng Qing go? And Daddy, what about them?! ”

Seinfeld's face was also full of anxious looks: "It's hard to say!" Who's in the back?! ”

Seinfeld roared, and several young people also subconsciously copied the guy in their hands. And Xiao Shilian and the others rushed over quickly, there were more than eighty of them, and they were all in armor, which really scared these young people a lot.

"Xiao Shilian under the command of General Chen Wuyi, on the orders of General Wuyi, to clear out the bandits!" Seeing this, Xiao Shilian hurriedly surrendered his hand.

And Li Xinchen also hurriedly stopped Seinfeld: "Don't get me wrong, this is a reinforcement brought in." ”

"Reinforcements?" Seinfeld was stunned for a moment, then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face, and he stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Shilian's hand excitedly, "Are you really here to save us?" ”

When Seinfeld came out like this, he startled several old soldiers guarding Xiao Shilian, but fortunately, Xiao Shilian glanced at them in time. Waiting for the old pawns to retreat, Xiao Shilian looked at the young man in front of him who was as young as Li Xinchen with a tired look on his face, and nodded solemnly after hesitating for a moment.

It's just that to Xiao Shilian's surprise, Seinfeld shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But there are too few of you coming!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Shilian said anxiously while looking at the layers of dense forests in the distance as much as possible, obviously he also wanted to know the situation here.

"Bandits, there are hundreds of bandits, and there are hundreds of Northern Zhou barbarians!" Seinfeld's voice was a little hoarse, "A few of us stayed here to protect the women and children in the village, while Uncle Li took Brother Zheng Qing and them to the front, saying that he wanted to divert the enemy as much as possible." ”

With a stomp of his feet, Seinfeld slowly sat down on the ground: "Our people······ That's too little! ”

Li Xinchen grabbed the placket of his shirt and almost lifted Seinfeld off the ground again: "What did you just say?!" My dad?! What are you eating, and why did you let my dad come over?! ”

Seinfeld's lips trembled: "Brother Chen, I ······"

"Xun Chen!" The footsteps sounded again, and Old Man Zheng walked out of the hidden cave behind the big tree with difficulty on crutches, "Xun Chen! ”

And following closely behind Old Man Zheng, Old Man Song also walked out: "Xin Chen, let go first!" ”

Li Xinchen's eyes were already red: "Two uncles, where did my father go?" ”

The two old men glanced at each other and couldn't help sighing, and Old Man Song pointed to the mountain road ahead: "Your father and a few people want to guard the intersection leading here." ”

"So the bandits want to kill us?" Li Xinchen clenched his fists.

"We ······ There is so much to know. Old Man Song couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"What about the military advisor we captured before, do those bandits really don't care about his life?!" Li Xinchen bit it and said, I took a lot of effort to grab this chip last night, how could I not make good use of it?

Old Man Song glanced up at Li Xinchen in some surprise, and only after a long time did he say lightly: "Xinchen, do you still naively think that the military division will be useful?" Those bandits and the Northern Zhou barbarians didn't even greet us at all, and they killed them directly, obviously for them, the life of a military advisor is far less useful than killing us all······ That guy, Brother Li Cheng had already disposed of him just now, and it was useless to keep it. ”

Li Xinchen's face changed, and he slammed his fist on the tree next to him.

"Damn it!"
